At Salmon Rocks on Victoria’s Cape Conran, Maritime Sunburst Lichen (Xanthoria parietina) traces the surface of cool grey granodiorite with vivid orange growth. The intricate lichen colony creates a striking contrast against the stone, transforming a small coastal detail into an abstract study of colour, texture and adaptation. Shaped by sun, salt spray and the nutrients of the coastal environment, this resilient symbiosis quietly inhabits the rock.
